In all seriousness though, Taggart's recruiting has been stunning. You're ranked 4th nationally right now and just pulled the 2nd best kid from Seattle out from under UW. After 21-70, that's gotta feel good.

Brian Kelly, Notre Dame (5)
BK called out his quarterback for going to the NFL, had to replace both coordinators and, oh yeah, went 4-8. Even worse, Kelly was actually disappointed he got a vote of confidence from athletic director Jack Swarbrick. In the same season Kelly had his highest-drafted quarterback (Deshone Kizer, second round), he also posted the worst record of his career.
For whatever reason, it's not working right now at ND. I'm not sure 6-6 saves Kelly at this point, especially with an expensive Notre Dame Stadium renovation set to come online.
Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M (5)
Wash, rinse, repeat 8-5. Sumlin has posted that mark three years in a row. Worse, his teams always start fast and finish slow. The Ags are a combined 16-0 to start since 2014, 8-15 the rest of the way.
With a newly renovated Kyle Stadium and its 100,000-plus seats needing to be filled, the pressure is on.
Todd Graham, Arizona State (4)
Athletic director Ray Anderson sent a clear message by not extending Graham's contract. Coming off consecutive losing seasons, Graham cannot tell his 2018 recruiting class he will be their coach when they are seniors in 2021. Both coordinators have been replaced, too.
Rich Rodriguez, Arizona (4)
It's never a sign combination when the guy who hired you leaves for Alabama. Such is the case for Rich Rod, who watched AD Greg Byrne depart for Tuscaloosa. Yes, there was irony in that move. Rodriguez reportedly took the Alabama job in late 2006 before getting cold feet. Bama's "second choice" is still running the show.
Never thought I'd see this: Rodriguez, one of the godfathers of the modern spread offense, needs some help at quarterback.
Kliff Kingsbury, Texas Tech (4)
Kingsbury is runway model handsome, but as a head coach? Well, it's been ugly lately. The dichotomy is maddening. Kingsbury's offense lead the country. His defense is the worst in the country. Or at least that's the way it was in 2016.
Overall, Kingsbury is 24-26. He hasn't lived up to the hype that followed him from Texas A&M and Houston.

"USA Today reported Thursday that Freeze made a one-minute call from a university-issued phone to a number associated with a female escort service. The number was found during discovery related to former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt's civil lawsuit against Ole Miss and Freeze, which was filed in federal court last week"

Bjork said that if the information they had uncovered had been public, the reason for the decision would be clear, acknowledging that if Freeze had not resigned the school would have "exercised the termination clause in the contract for moral turpitude."
